I love this new 3g apple iPhone - bought 2 even, 1 for me and 1 for wife but the headset is blah at best, I am looking for a good in ear alternative with mic preferable, that is in a good quality sound range.
I read reviews on apple store but cant help wonder if its some 15 yr old who's happy to hear anything better than what the stock apple phones produce, so I came to the place i know others appreciate their music for hopefully a few suggestions.
At home my primary headphones are sennheiser 485's and 555's (so yes im addicted yet don't have a huge budget) I have a few smaller sets too, none that compare to the 555's (creative soundworks in ear and smaller senns) and of course none have a mic.
Wife wears a hearing aid so no headphones for her, but I am looking for the best quality sound i can get out of an in ear headphone with mic in the $50 to $100 price range?!?! (ok maybe a few bucks more if a jump is needed)...I am sure most of you guys/gals understand that statement, hehe
I would LOVE for them to be wireless but if I go that route (bluetooth) I lose alot of quality dont I? (I read that somewhere along time ago that bluetooth headphones sound horrible vs plug in wired ones but not sure if that is true), also wasn't sure on the whole stereo aspect on 3g iphone, I read the new software 3.0 is going to allow for stereo bluetooth a2dp (whatever that is) but will that improve the quality of using bluetooth headsets or just allow stereo without some funky adaptor like ive seen in other youtube videos?
These are a few i found on youtube, any input good or bad about them?

imuffs (looks the MOST interesting... or like to find something like them, wireless, one piece or in ear with mic) but I searched this forum for imuffs and came up empty - so not a good sign

Nolan Systems a2dp Headset (a bit star trek looking, but curious on sound and once 3.0 comes would they turn into stereo?)

Thanks for anyone who has had experience in this matter as the iphone stuff is all new to me.
